[realize that .* includes `..', and as such probably is affecting
 directories you'd rather it not.  Use `.??*' instead to get most
 files that start with `.' -- but not ones like `.a']

Thanks for the report.
Would you please see if you can reproduce that using the latest
upstream release?

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.92.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.92.tar.bz2

I suspect you're seeing a double-free bug that was fixed
upstream some time ago.
